Firefighter

Firefighters are special in life, because you can count with them during any fire, even a fire in a house or the forest. Firefighters are very special because they can save your life, even if they cannot save where you live. An example of this is when many people were saved by firefighters from the Twin Towers, on September 11, 2001. They stared getting people out before the building fell. They tried to extinguish the fire so that the building would not fall. They are very special to us, because without them, many people who don’t know how to extinguish a fire, would attempt to do so, and would die.

The main characteristics of a firefighter are that they save lives, and they extinguish fires. They are welcome to help you when you need them. They are there to prevent fires. That’s why we can say that firefighters are heroes. For me, I had the dream of being a firefighter when I was a child. At this point in my life, I think I will study at the university, but I will always admire them.

I remember an experience in which firefighters helped us. Once, when I was very young, firefighters had to come to our house because an electric transformer exploded, and a light cable broke and fell on the gas tank. The gas tank started to expel gas. The cable was sparking, and if a spark had come into contact with the gas, it would have exploded. So the firefighters came. I am grateful to them to this day.
